Okay, I admit, my hearing's not so great in my right ear. The first time I heard "Momentum", these are the words I heard:

would you help me rise uptouch my face and watch me try to breathe againwould you let me do thisburn down the firewall

When in actuality it was:

would you help me rise uptouch my face and watch me try to breathe againwould you let me do thisburn down the final wall

My first impression was, "That's so cool! Vienna put in some kind of comp-sci-geeky reference!" Then I read my lyrics booklet and realized how wrong I was Needless to say "Momentum" is still one of my favorite songs off Waking Hour, with or without the firewall.

This is a relief, since I was worried that Vienna had a crush on a member of the KKK or something.

Soon Love SoonWhat Vienna actually sings: "We will find illumination in unnatural light/You will travel a thousand miles without leaving my sight"What I heard: "We will find illumination in a natural light/You will travel a thousand miles without leaving my side"

Pretty much the same thing except for the natural/unnatural dichotomy.

Yesterday I was listening as I was working on the computer, and during "Homecoming" I did a double take as I thought I heard, "I switch off the lights and imagine that witch is outlined in the bed..." Vienna wouldn't write that??! Nope, "waitress..." Much nicer.

I thought Drought was a biblical story....Mary, angels, forgiveness, droughts, doubts, fire, faith, death, white sheets...sung by Mary herself (perhaps with Elizabeth eavesdropping behind a big rock), wanting to take her own life after all that went down...the drought, questioning her faith, losing her son.

I hear: "and the landscape of Mary and desperate drought"She sings: "and the landscape of merry and desperate drought"

I hear: "let the water of God trickle over my doubts"She sings: "let the water of calm trickle over my doubts"
